Mr Mulligan's Lost World Adventure Golf in Stevenage

A visit to Mr Mulligan's latest Adventure Golf course.

You can't miss the entrance to the Lost World Golf!

Last year we heard about a new minigolf venue opening in Stevenage and Mr Mulligan's latest course - Lost World Golf - opened at Stevenage Leisure Park earlier this year.

We've been itching to get along for a game and earlier this week we had a round on the two nautical themed courses. We loved it.

The courses became the 685th and 686th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour, and were the 403rd and 404th played.

Our group hit the Jungle Explorers course for round one and followed this with a game on the Ocean Adventurers layout.

There is some excellent theming throughout the indoor Adventure Golf venue - not least the giant wooden submarine that sits in the middle of the two courses!

What an obstacle/hole/feature!

The inside of the submarine contains a very very tough hole to play!

There's a real mix of obstacles and hole types and there's even a section of holes where you are plunged into blacklight - one of my favourite types of minigolf environments to play in.

Another fine minigolf scorecard added to The Crazy Golf Museum archives

It was also nice to have a break between rounds with a drink at the bar. We also had a celebratory/consolation drink at the end of our second round.

Lost World Adventure Golf in Hemsby

Our visits to the Lost World Adventure Golf course in Hemsby.

Back in May 2009 we visited the Norfolk seaside resort of Hemsby and played the great 9-hole Lost World Adventure Golf course on Beach Road. It became the 88th played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Since then we've revisited the course for some fun rounds and two Pro-Am contests, with Emily and her 'pro' Brad Shepherd achieving third place in the 2010 contest, while me and my 'Am' William Collins were runners-up in 2011.

The Lost World Adventure Golf course is a must-visit if you're in Hemsby

For more information, opening times and prices check out the Lost World Adventure Golf website.

As well as the minigolf course you can also Pan for Gold, play the Jungle Jeeps and get food and drink from Madisons next to the course. Hemsby is a great British seaside resort with plenty of amusement arcades and a great beach.

Minigolf Report - Gottfried & Collins Runners-Up in the Lost World Adventure Golf Pro-Am Classic 2011 in Hemsby

6th June 2011
Press Information
For Immediate Release

Minigolf Report - Lost World Adventure Golf Pro-Am Classic

Luton Minigolfers Richard & Emily Gottfried competed in the second-annual Lost World Pro-Am Classic doubles tournament, hosted by the Lost World Adventure Golf course in Hemsby on Saturday 4th June.

The competition format saw BMGA Tour ‘Pro’ Players paired with local ‘Amateur’ players via a random draw. In the 12-team field Richard and his partner, Hemsby’s William Collins, were runners-up having scored 88 as a pair in the 18-hole, two-round competition. The winners of the event had to be decided by a sudden-death play-off as Richard & William had tied with Nick Chitty and his partner Richard Hathaway at the end of regulation play. Unfortunately, William hit a three on the first hole of the play-off to allow the opposition to pick up the win with a two.

Emily and her doubles partner Owen Johnson finished out of the prizes.

Richard said “As with last year James and the team at Hemsby put on a great event. The Lost World is one of my favourite courses to play. Last year Emily and her partner picked up third place here so I’m pleased to have gone one better. Although we lost the play-off, William and I played well as a team and he put in two great rounds. Thanks also to our playing partners Seth and George for a great game too.”
